History

The name "Hennock" means 'At the high oak-tree'.[6] Hennock was recorded in the Domesday Book as Hanoch/Hainoc.[7] The parish was historically in the Teignbridge hundred.[8] On the 25th of March 1885 an area of the parish was transferred to the parish of Bovey Tracey. The transferred area contained 8 houses in 1891.[9]
